Mo Yangyang’s face turned pale, and her heart turned ice-cold.
They knew she had overheard the conversation. They were locking her up!
Mo Yangyang always thought she had known the Mo Family well after living with them for so many years.
However, ever since the birthday party, Mo Yangyang realized she had never truly understood the Mo Family, nor was she ever involved in their important activities.
They had changed in an instant. They were like completely different people after the birthday party. They had easily cast aside their relationship with her.
Mo Yangyang knew they had all moved on and abandoned her, while she was still cherishing the old times. She was clinging onto a slight hope even until now.
And now, the glimpse of hope she had turned out to be a knife she gave the Mo Family to stab her with.
Mo Yangyang knew Luo Qian and Mo Shixuan were outside the door. She said coldly, “Let me out.”
Some time later, she heard Luo Qian’s regretful voice.
“Yangyang, now that you’ve heard it, mum can only say sorry to you. I hope you will understand. I really have no other choice. The doctor has told me that your brother is in critical condition. If we don’t find the right heart soon, he…”
Luo Qian started sobbing, “Oh Yangyang, your brother was so kind to you. You couldn’t afford to watch him die, could you?”
Mo Yangyang clenched her teeth, “I definitely can!”
Luo Qian yelled, “Mo Yangyang, how could you be so cruel? You’re dying soon anyway! What’s the meaning for you to keep your heart? Can’t you use it to save your brother?”
“We’ve looked after you for twenty years and treated you as the daughter of our family. We’ve provided you with clothes and food. You’ve already lived an enjoyable life. Why can’t you just repay our kindness for raising you before you die?”
Mo Yangyang laughed angrily.
She sounded so righteous and confident, even when she was demanding something unreasonable.
Mo Yangyang might be dying, but she was still alive. Why did they think they had the right to decide her fate?
It was HER heart. It was her decision to give it away or not. If she was not willing, no one could ever take it from her!
Mo Yangyang clenched her teeth. She could not afford to sit back and wait for her death.
Luo Qian’s voice calmed down. She said, “Yangyang, you should really think about it. You owe our family for raising you well. You know what to do if you still have a conscience!”
Mo Yangyang murmured under her breath, “F**k your conscience!”
How much of a prick was she, saying something like that?
She had to find a way to escape.
Should she call the cops?
No, she did not have any evidence. How was she going to prove that the Mo Family was trying to dig her heart out?
The Mo Family would only keep a closer eye on her if she failed to escape on her first attempt.
She could not ask Dongzhi for help, either. There was nothing Dongzhi could do to help her escape.
She could only rely on herself!
Mo Yangyang checked the windows. They were locked, as she thought, but there was a narrow window in the bathroom. She had a feeling that the space could fit her at a glance.
Mo Yangyang tore the bed sheet and the curtains and tied them into a long rope.
It was not going to work. Luo Qian was clearly keeping an eye on her at all times. She would come after her again once she noticed she was missing.
She had to figure out a way to buy herself some time.
Mo Yangyang searched the room and found a battery and a chewing gum wrapped in aluminum foil.
She immediately had an idea. She connected the terminals of the battery with the foil. The foil soon erupted into flames.
Mo Yangyang tossed the burning foil onto the bed. She was grateful to Xie Xize for the first time as she watched the fire grow. It was something he had taught her a few years ago.
Mo Yangyang dialed the emergency number of the fire brigade when the fire began to spread.
When she heard the sirens of a fire engine, she estimated the time as she climbed out of the tiny window and used the rope to climb down to the ground floor.
The Mo Family was in a panic when the fire engine arrived, allowing Mo Yangyang to escape amid the chaos.
Mo Yangyang remembered something during her escape. She happened to pass by a pharmacy on the way. She went inside after a brief hesitation.
She quickly went to a public toilet after leaving the pharmacy.
A few minutes later, Mo Yangyang felt her vision fading away. The world began to spin when she saw the two red lines on the pregnancy stick.
